Arkansas OL Frank Ragnow had a great offseason and did everything he needed to do to work his way into the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, where he was chosen with the No. 20 overall pick by the Detroit Lions.

On Sunday, Ragnow shared a tweet that quoted Bielema as saying he thought Ragnow could be a first-round pick even when he was only entering his sophomore year:
